Video: Samsung’s RTS-A1100 puts boom in a bubble

January 08th, 2008 | Category: Home Entertainment, Portable Audio

In Samsung’s huge booth on the floor here in Vegas we stumbled upon that unannounced gem, the RTS-A1100 “media center.” Priced at an expected $499 when delivered to the US in moment half of 2008, the RTS-A1100 resurrects the ol’ iMac case to fine effect. The gestured controlled, 4.3-inch touch interface allows for easy (though often, laggy) navigation of your media. USB and what looks to be a proprietary iPod interface around back can augment the media hosted on the internal 80GB disk. Rounding things out

are 2x 20W speakers and CD player capable of ripping your audio direct to disk at 16x. Plenty of pics below with a video demonstration of the UI after the break. We’ll cut ‘em some slack on the non-responsive UI for now as that is just a pre-production model.
